Live from Windows 7 event : Always delightful 9 Win 7 devices on display. lg phones super sexy screens samsung amoled screens htc very large screen phones dell rugged phones At&T chief Ralph de la Vega shows up on stage.
3 devices to be launched lg quantum, htc surround, samsung focus(8 th) The LG Quantum will be $199.99 full QWERTY looks promising. HTC Surround — 16GB of onboard storage, 5MP camera, and two Dolby Surround Sound speakers. “You have got to hear this.” Priced at $199.99. Samsung focus Super AMOLED screen, Snapdragon CPU, 8GB onboard storage…” Priced at… surprise! $199.99
“Right in the camera I can flip over to my pictures and share them with my friends. We try and connect to cloud services in an interesting way — I can set my phone up to automatically upload pics I take immediately to the cloud” “We’re excited about the camera experience, we’re excited about smart design — we’re trying to rethink the design in a way that’s about people” “Joe is showing an email from Steve with a PowerPoint doc attached — he’s opened it up on the phone. Looks pretty darn slick.” When you think about text entry you think about smart design, great software, great hardware… I’m just going to start typing as fast as I can…” So pretty fast typing from Joe with only one mistake — “How do you deal with making a mistake?” Joe went back to fix a mistyped word but missed… then retyped. WP7 gives you some options for word selection, which is nice (instead of forcing a correction). We wanted to make sure we offered Outlook integration on this phone. Here’s a meeting invitation… at TGI Fridays Right in this email it’s looking at if I have a calendar conflict or not.” That’s nice. In this case, the dinner conflicts with a conference call, now that I can see it in the calendar it gives me context. And there’s even more things we’re trying to do to make it helpful. Imagine I’m running late, I can click on an event and we have a one touch ‘I’ll be late’ button.” Hot links to addresses jump to Bing Maps, of course. Joe is showing off Bing directions — looks like there’ll be walking and driving directions. So I think we should eat somewhere local, I want to find a different place. We thought that using your phone to find stuff in the real world with a dedicated button is important. So I’m going to push the search button, and it already says NY Pretty slick — by speaking the name of an airline and flight number it nabbed the flight times via Bing and next voice recognition using tell me Alaska 7 Now I want to talk about Windows Phone Hubs. There are 6, and they center around different tasks. People Hub. Quick access to posting on a contact’s wall on Facebook. Heavy Facebook integration but not talk of others though. “I can see all of my contacts aggregated together. The People Hub idea is that it brings together everyone you care about Joe is going through the pictures hub now — you can automatically post a comment from the photo hub on Facebook. Goes through Office Hub and One note.More info on Share point too. Next up, music and videos… we wanted to do this in a way that helps people get to music and videos with as few clicks as possible. I’ve also been subscribing to a lot of podcasts, I’m a fan of the Ted Talks, and when there’s new content a tile shows up here. We’re also allowing third-party apps to integrate into the Music hub. It’s not just what we build into the phone, but what our partners build. Updates on Zune pass and how you can listen to almost every music you want. So I mentioned that third parties can integrate into the hubs… but I wanted to talk about developers. We have terrific dev tools, and literally hundreds of thousands of devs have downloaded these tools. Here’s an eBay app.” Wow, this looks really nice. The eBay app is using controls so that it fits into the Windows Phone experience. We want it to be easy for end users but also devs. Now I’m going to show you two more Here’s IMDB, I like going to the movies, renting… I’m super excited about this. It should feel incredibly familiar.” This is a really handsome looking app — totally adheres to the Metro UI.Sexy impressive integration from the IMDB app. And the third app is AT&T Uverse Mobile. We want out partners to do meaningful differentiation. Elegant coexistence. Here’s featured content, all shows… I can do a search.” Wow, this is pretty exciting. A very slick looking media app Not sure what he meant by streaming U-verse thing ? Last up, the games hub ! When I come into the games hub, I have two invited to play backgammon with someone. I can accept one of these invites, or I can go play a game. One of the things we’ve tried to do was make this a complete experience… I just tapped my avatar, and now I’m running an app called Xbox Live Extras… so I’m going to go in here and change my style. I can go in and add an earring… here’s my avatar with an earring. It makes the gaming experience more fun. You can earn prizes. I’ve played enough to earn an MTV Moon Man award. It helps connect people to each other, these are publicly visible. I know you’re going to be curious to see some games… I have a couple to show you. I’m going to switch games because some of these have a start up time that I don’t want to show in the demo. Joe is showing off Ilo and Milo. “This is real 3D. This will be available exclusively on AT&T phones -Why’s that !! Now Joe is showing the Sims 3 for WP7. Yep, it’s Sims 3. So, that is my demo, before I leave I want to add a little information about a feature… our phones support updates and so our phones can be updated. I wanted to announce today we’ve heard feedback, and early in 2011 we’re going to add copy and paste. Everyone who buys a phone now will get that update. Now Steve is back!
There you have it. The Windows Phone is a different kind of phone. Always delightful, wonderfully personal, and will help you get in, out, and back to life.
Thats it for the event! How did ya enjoy the event.Pour in comments.

| LG Optimus 7 official ahead of Windows phone 7 launch Posted: 11 Oct 2010 05:19 AM PDT I have posted articles about LG Optimus 7 Windows phone and we know Microsoft been really keen to keep all the Windows Phone 7 fanfare to itself, but LG’s equally zealous official UK blog has leaked the details of LG Optimus 7 right before the Windows Phone 7 launch happening later in the day by posting both details and a gallery of images of the company’s Optimus 7 (aka E900) handset online.The official Windows Phone 7 press conference is scheduled for 6.30am PDT (or 9.30am EDT, 2.30pm GMT or 7.00 pm IST).Few folks at Pocket-Lint managed to grab and blog about it.No update on the pricing or availability details.
To be fair to them, it’s nothing a ton of leaks haven’t already revealed: the Optimus 7 will be a 3.8-inch touchscreen device, sporting WVGA (800 x 480) resolution, 16GB of onboard storage, a 5 megapixel camera with a 720p video mode, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, a digital compass, and your usual proximity and ambient light sensors. Also present will be that DLNA streaming functionality we saw at IFA, officially titled Play-To, which will be exclusive to LG’s phones along with Voice-to-Text and Scansearch, the former being a message transcriber and the latter acting as an augmented reality real-time search service.
